I just discovered that a lot of sites are disabling subpixel antialiasing. I think this is part of Bootstrap or other crappy CSS frameworks. Safari lets you preload a user style sheet. In order to enjoy beautiful text on all sites, I have to use a CSS file that contains a single line: * { -webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased !important; }

Cambridge Analytica is shutting down, Facebook is just fine. This is the world we live in, the big guys always win. I wish someone would have the courage to shut down Facebook. MZ is smiling in our faces, again and again and again.

FB is too big to fail, just like the oil companies. However, it's big enough to die slowly...just like the oil companies. As long as there are people like us creating alternatives, everything will turn out okay in the end.

I can't wait to start working on Activities. It will be an easy way to build a high quality resume right here on Sublevel. I'm just tired of half baked implementations or what LinkedIn is turning into. An activity can be a job position, an university degree, a project or any other thing that drives you forward. I also looking for a way for others to send you emails.

I want to create a chat based app that works exactly like IRC. Slack, but public. Reddit, but no threads. Sublevel, but not social. Convore was the closest thing to this, but I'm not sure why they give up.

I like the menu look at the top. Something I kind of don't care for on Sublevel and your website is the way background color stretches across the whole screen. On mobile displays, it's great. On large, desktop displays, it's not. I'm happy to say the search works :-)

Adult America has failed the world, they elected Trump as president. Maybe young America can save itself. Protest by not going to school seems like a peaceful and smart idea. Hopefully parents will be smart too by not forcing school at any cost on their kids.

I would say corporate America as failed the world. No matter who sits in the White House, the financial industry, the military complex and other special interests groups are all lobbying hard to protect and develop their assets, being nationally or abroad with endless wars. Already, Lebanon and the Leviathan gas field seem to be next targets. I don't know how bad the US education system is compared to other countries but for what I know, it doesn't bode well for the next generation of adult Americans. Even the education system is a privatization target.

Don't group sensible people with the idiots. Idiots have failed the world. They created an environment where Trump won. They created an environment where mentally-disturbed kids decide to kill as many other kids as they can. They stage protests and destroy people's property and physically attack people with different opinions. Hopefully parents will raise their kids to be respectful of others, as lack of respect for others seems to be the common denominator of all those problems. Idiots want to punish the non-idiots for the problems idiots create.
